Pour over Coffee "maker"

[iamwhatiseem]

Learning the correct ration, don't quite have that down pat yet.
Also my ground I think is too fine, just a hair bitter on the back end.

I grind my own, a bit coarse. 2TBS, sometimes 3,,,, 2 is a bit weak. Use the fine stuff up in an Italian espresso pot.

Yep...
I do love the espresso beans. Dark roastem almost to a french roast.
I have this one. Took awhile to dial it in but it makes damn good espresso.

Of course a good bean grinder is a must when grinding for espresso.

I wouldnt go any cheaper than this.

I like real coffee. The kind a percolator creates. No sugar for me as the richness of the coffee is so good to drink and taste.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Update... making awesome coffee now. Want a better grinder.
I have the ratio down pretty good, our favorite coffee is Sumatran - which is not for everyone, but I like the full intensity of it.
Everyone should try the pour over method. It just simply makes better coffee.

You mean the bitterness a percolator produces....
To each his own I guess.
Myself? I like to taste the undertones of a coffee,percolating kills those.

Sumatran is where it's at.
Full bodied and is perfect for dark roasting.

I kinda stumbled over my pour over setup by accident.
Was packing up the grub box for a camping trip and I tossed in the reusable gold filter into the box.
It just happened to land in my big travel mug and it fit perfectly!
I stick a paper filter in it to keep down the oils so clean up is a breeze.

Oh....be sure and get a conical slow grider.
Those things that sound like a blender run way to fast and burn the grounds.

Firehouse coffee perfection:

Prepare immediately after crew leaves station to fight a fire (protest or legitimate) on a freezing cold night.

1 large can of ground coffee. Cheapest blend you can find.
1 old pillow case
2-feet dental floss
1 30-gallon trash can
1 propane fired single boiler cooker - as made for frying turkeys
1 gas lighter - why risk your fingers with a match?
6 broken quahog shells
28 gallons tap water

Put the whole can of coffee, 2-3 pounds - either works, in the pillow sack.
Tie it shut with dental floss.
Put the water in the trash can.
Put the can on the boiler and let 'er tip.
Sprinkle in the broken shells
Optional: Handful of salt. Nothing fancy. Go for cheap

Boil until the crew returns.
Dip into heavy pottery mugs. Don't use paper or plastic. They can't take it.

Everybody will love it.
Anyone who doesn't is an ingrate and must be pushed out into the snow.

Do not eat the quahog shell fragments. They can be saved for garden mulch.
Nice earthy colour.

Oh, throw out the pillow sack. Makes bitter coffee if reused.

So...yeah... no fireman I know would ever cook with galvanized metal. It releases toxic fumes when heated. Also it releases heavy zinc in anything it touches.
All the way around a bad idea

That could explain a number of things! Good to see you learned through experience.

While they make some good coffee it's not truly espresso.

 

[Shawnee_b]

Works for me! Then if I want latte I micro some milk then whip it in a blender. But tripple shots better.

That is an awesome espresso maker you have though, bean grinder is too cool too!
